Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • ½ cup raisins
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil-melted and cooled
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ cup honey or agave
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Icing

  • 1 package room temp cream cheese cut into cubes
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Cookie Dough

  • In medium bowl stir together sifted flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • In a separate smaller bowl whisk egg, vanilla, and coconut oil until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture and stir to create cookie dough.
  • Fold in carrots and raisins.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set in fridge to chill for 1 hour to set. Chilling allows oats to absorb moisture and create a better rise.
  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using an ice cream scoop plop balls of cookie dough onto pan spacing 1.5-2 inches apart.
  • Next take your fingers and gently press cookie balls down slightly to form a cookie shape. (don't over flatten)
  • Bake at 350 F for 12-14 minutes until slightly golden on edges.
  • Cool completely before icing.

Icing

  • Combine all ingredients into a clean stand mixer bowl.
  • On medium with whisk attachment, whip until creamy.
  • Can add more powdered sugar or coconut milk for desired consistency.
  • Make Pies
  • Take a piping bag and fill with frosting. Trim just the tip of off your bag with scissors.
  • Flip one cookie upside down. Begin piping in the center and spiral slowly outward until entire face of cookie is covered.
  • Place second cookie on top of icing to create sandwich.

Notes

Store cookies in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Freeze individually by wrapping twice with plastic wrap and once with aluminum foil.
